JOHNSON. Hitchcock, Henry-Russell

Cl. New York, 1966

Book ID: 13379

A unique volume published in honor of Johnson's 60th birthday in 1966. The buildings themselves--as it shoud be in a work of an architect--are Mr. Johnson's "text." The introductory essay by Henry-Russell Hitchcock is essentially historical, defining the aesthetic and cultural environment of Johnson's place in the history of modern architecture. Fifty-one color plates with plans cover all of Johnson's major buildings. In addition, relevant plans and drawings complement Hitchcock's text. The volume is completed by a thorough chronology of all of Johnson's architecture and a bibliography of writings by and about the architect.

115 pp. Color photos; plans., very good condition with dj.
